It scored 0.0 points on my spam filters, I have checked it out and low
and behlod there is a human response behind this email :)

I guess only a visually impaired person would have picked it up :) But
mailing this list seems weird... Perhaps someone she knows or knew
mentioned this list! - no idea...

Anyway, it's not spam (not the auto-generated type anyway)

cheers
